Chapter 49: Not Willing

After Su Yun Lan left, the pair of Great Change Sect Elders invited Xu Que to their sect as a guest as if they had intentions to establish a good relationship with him.

Since it was difficult to reject such a proposal, Xu Que followed the few of them to Wind City.

Along the way, Xu Que understood that Wind City was quite some distance away from Celestial Sect. Even if they rode atop their flying swords, it would take them at least 2 to 3 days.

However, since Celestial Sect was a big sect and was destroyed extensively over a single night, news had spread like wildfire. Xu Que's reputation soared as a result of the destruction of Celestial Sect and Fallen Spirits Sect.

From the few Great Change Sect disciples, Xu Que found out that the Celestial Sect had indeed been completely destroyed. They no longer own a prestigious and mighty reputation.

Sect Leader of Celestial Sect, Zhang Dan Shan went out in search for Xu Que but failed to locate him after half a month. It's been rumoured that he developed demons within his heart and thus forced himself into secluded meditation. Instead of attempting to restore the prestige of the Celestial Sect, they lost their powerful Infant Transformation Stage leader.

Added to the known fact that Elder Sun collaborated with Fallen Spirits Sect to attack an innocent village, the Celestial Sect came under verbal attacks from many other cultivation sects. This caused the remaining Original Infant Stage cultivators to wash their hands off the matter and leave the sect since they couldn't handle the pressure any longer. The sect thus fell to the hands of the junior elite members.

It was a pity that innate talents and gifts weren't the only factors in ensuring a successful cultivation. The presence of treasures and precious pills were necessary to boost a person's cultivation as well. Without the Original Infant Stage cultivators to refine pills for the sect, the resources within Celestial Sect were depleting at an alarming rate. Since the sect was now unable to provide monthly pills to its disciples, many people couldn't take it anymore and started leaving. The disciples with better innate abilities were snatched up by other sects.

To many of these cultivators, time was extremely valuable. Should they continue wasting time at a bleak, futureless sect, even if they had extremely rare innate talents, they would end up being cultivation failures!

So within a short span of time, Celestial Sect lost most of their disciples. All it took was for Zhang Dan Shan to disappear and the entire sect sunk further into a desolate future.

However, for Infant Transformation Stage cultivators to go into secluded meditation, it would take at least several years and could take up to several hundreds years. The number was highly dependent on many variables.

...

Xu Que and several Great Change Sect disciples were talking along the way until they finally reached their destination.

Great Change Sect used to be an extremely prestigious and strong sect several hundred years ago. It could even match up to Celestial Sect's might at its peak. However, since Su Yun Lan's grandfather, the first Sect Leader, disappeared, the entire sect's prestige fell drastically.

Su Yun Lan relied on her extraordinary innate talents and the vast amount of resources at her disposal to cultivate up to her current stage. In just a short span of 20 years, she reached the Original Infant Stage and thus took the helm of the Sect Leader position after.

Her father had died in a massive war several years back. The entire Great Change Sect thus relied heavily on her and the pair of Sect Elders to uphold the entire sect. Their days were difficult and rough.
